[U.S. takes in 6,000 Somali refugees.]
Damnit! No more third worlders. They are illiterate, have no job skills we need, are frequently disease ridden, and are going to be on welfare. Enough already. Add to the pot that they are probably going to be goat fornicators. I’m sick and tired of getting all of these frigging anchors put around our necks by the stinking govt.

Adult illiteracy, an unskilled workforce, spread of disease and dependency on welfare are all issues that exist with born-American populations, too. Same with bestiality. And don't completely dis your government; they're one of the few that won't have you shot for speaking against them.
If this guy had any education he'd know non-citizens aren't allowed to receive welfare in the United States.
They'll have to become citizens first and then they'd need to get jobs or some means of support. By the time they are citizens they'll probably have jobs and even educations. I bet anything naturalized citizens are LESS likely to go on welfare than US-born citizens, so they'll come here, pay taxes, and take LESS.
Of course I bet you're not really worried about welfare. Just come out and say it. You're afraid of "dark people" moving next door or becoming your boss.
If the 3rd-worlders have no jobs skills, then why are all the money-grabbing conservative-run businesses sourcing jobs to 3rd-worlders, instead of Americans?
And clearly you have no idea how welfare works. But that's exactly the way limbaugh wants you.
Although I agree with the need to reform immigration laws (we do put way too many hoops for educated people to come in) there are ways to argue this point without coming across as an illiterate with no job skills that is soon to be a goat fucker.
Really, if they're not already fucking goats in Somalia, why would they start now? And who else is going to clean rich white peoples bathrooms?

Refugee doesn't work: "He's scrounging off of welfare!"
Refugee works: "He's stealing our jobs!"
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I used to live in a neighborhood that had the second largest population of Somali refugees in the US. A lot of them had had shitty lives in refugee camps with no access to education, but they worked very hard to make sure their children did. Those that could, worked. Almost all of them were kind and considerate.
If you are mad that recent immigrants are illiterate, why not volunteer to teach them English and literacy skills? If you had been born in a country with no government or schools, you would likely be illiterate too, so why not share a gift that you are lucky to have?
Also-- these are the people from the exact sorts of situations we go invade and occupy countries over. So, you don't mind spending trillions to murder and pillage "third-worlders" but you'll be damned if they get $400 a month in food stamps and can send their kids to American schools?
They are illiterate, have no job skills we need, are frequently disease ridden, and are going to be on welfare.
Yes, heaven forbid the self-proclaimed most advanced, prosperous civilisation on the planet do anything at all to help them change any of those things for the better.
Yes, God forbid that a wealthy country that got rich on slave labour should lend a helping hand to those in need. And you think all Americans have needed job skills? You think no Americans are disease-ridden? You think no Americans are on welfare? Maybe if the "true citizens of America" would realize how fortunate they are, stop complaining about things they can't control, start changing things they can control, get off their lazy asses, and contribute to the economy, then helping out poor refugees wouldn't feel so much like "frigging anchors". Part of the reason it feels like such a burden is because Everybody thinks Somebody will do it, and then Nobody ends up doing it. And then Somebody starts asking Everybody to help them out, and Everybody complains, "Why do I have to do everything?? Life is so fucking hard!!" Suck it up.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
